Plaza Hotel

Laid-back London Stay Near the Action

Modern convenience meets classic charm at the Plaza Hotel, located in West London's vibrant Shepherd's Bush. With three Tube stations within half a mile and the iconic O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire just a 5-minute walk away, this hotel is a smart pick for concert-goers looking to stay close to the music without breaking the bank. Expect clean, simple rooms, reliable free Wi-Fi, and a down-to-earth vibe that makes it easy to unwind after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

If catching live music is your main event, the Plaza Hotel puts you right where you need to be. You're just minutes from major venues and surrounded by late-night bars, eateries, and transport links. Guests love the short walk to Shepherd’s Bush Empire and the hotel’s relaxed check-in time — you can check in for up to 9 hours, giving you more flexibility if you’re arriving early or late. The hotel is far enough from the main roads to offer a quieter night’s sleep, but still close to the buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to gigs together
• Solo travelers chasing a dream setlist
• Couples making a weekend of it
• Fans who need a quiet base after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want location without the price tag

Food and Drink Options

While the Plaza doesn’t offer 24/7 dining, it serves a simple continental breakfast each morning — ideal for refueling after a late night. You won’t go hungry though: the area is packed with walkable restaurants and takeaways for dinner or post-show bites. Each room also includes a fridge and free tea and coffee for late-night snacks or morning caffeine boosts.

Nightlife Options

You’re a stone’s throw from Shepherd’s Bush’s pubs, bars, and live music venues. Whether you’re looking for a pre-show pint or a late-night lounge, the local scene has you covered. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its location means you’re never far from the action.
